Molds, of which the following is a full, clear,

7 and eXact description.

This invention relates to an improvement in molds, particularly designed for molding or forming the bodies of dolls.

In carrying my invention into practice I provide a mold consisting of a plurality of separably connected sections or members (preferably three), two of the members being adapted for engagement one with the other, the third member being held in position by the other two mold-members.

I will now proceed to describe my invention in detail, the novel features of which I will point out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, wherein Figure 1 is a front view, slightly in perspective, of my improved mold; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of one of the body-members thereof Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the upper portion of the mold, showing the shoulder section in position; Fig. 4: is a sectional plan view taken on a line 4. l in Fig. 3, showing the shoulder section and one of the body sections; Fig. 5 is a top plan view of the assembled mold; Fig. 6 is a sectional plan view, the section being taken on a line 66 in Fig. 1.

As herein illustrated, my improved mold consists of a plurality of body-members 1 and 2 and a shoulder section 3 supported thereby when the body sections are assembled. T he mold-members may be made out of any suitable material, preferably aluminum. To facilitate the parting or separation of the molds, I preferably split the same diagonally as at 5 and 6, the mold-members being suitably braced by ribs 7. Each moldmember is provided with a core-print 8 for the arm-holes and a core-print 9 for the openings for the legs. In this instance the mold-member or body-member 1 is provided with looking lugs 10 adapted to enter sockets 11 in the body-member 2. The bodymember 1 is provided with a concaved wall 12, and the body-member 2 with a concaved wall 13 to form an opening 14, in the top of the mold, through which the material for the doll body is poured, the said material being plastic.

The body-member 1 is provided with an annular shoulder 15 adjacent to the upper end thereof, as is the bodymember 2 with a s milar shoulder 16, the said shoulders taking a curved course over the arm-hole core-prints 8, as at 17 (Fig. 2) to strengthen the wall of the body portions at the points adjacent said core-prints. To mold the shoulders, as well as to core the opening for the head, I provide the mold-member 3, as shown in Fig. 3, the said shoulder-member being provided with a core-print 18 having an opening 19 therein for the passage of the material to be molded. as can be seen in Fig. 3, the mold-member 3 rests upon the shoulders 15 and 16 along its bottom edge 20. The rounded surface 21 of the shoul der mold-member 3 rests in contact with the rounded surface 22 of each mold-member 1 and 2.

When the mold-members 1 and 2 are placed together, as shown in Fig. 1 (the mold-member 3 being positioned as shown in Fig. 3) the said mold-members 1 and 2 will firmly hold the mold-member 3 in position, the lugs 10 and recesses 11 holding the moldmembers 1 and 2 in alinement. In order to accurately fit the member 3 to the members 1 and 2, I provide the said member 3 with a rib 23 curved to conform to the shape of the divisional line of the mold-members, the curved surfaces 21 meeting at the rib 23.

As can be seen in Fig. 5, the curved wall 12 of the body-member 1 is coincident with the wall of the opening 14, as is the curved wall 13 of the body-member 2.

As can be seen in Fig. 3, the opening 19 in the mold-member 3 is funnel-shaped, the upper edge meeting the lower edge of the walls 12 and 13 of the body-members 1 and 2.

Having now described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A mold for doll-bodies, consisting of a plurality of body-members, a projection carried by each body-member adjacent one end thereof, said'projections being adapted to aline and form a support when said moldmembers are assembled, and a one-piece shoulder-member supported by said projections.

2. A mold for dollbodies consisting of a plurality of bodyn1en1bers, provided at the upper ends thereof With a curved Wall a projection carried by each body-member adjacent the curved Wall carried'thereby, and a onepiece shoulder-member supported by said projections, said shoulder-memberhavinga curved top surface adapted to engage ItOhe curved Walls carried by the body-memers.

3. A mold for doll-bodies consisting of a plurality of-body-Inembers, provided at the upper ends thereof with a curved Wall, a projection carried by each body-member adjacent thecurved Wall carried'thereby a Copiesof-Jthis patenhmay be obtained forfi veucents each, by addressing the Washington, D; C.

one-piece shoulder-member supported by said projections, said shoulder-member having a curved top surface adapted to engage the curved Walls carried by the body-members and a core-print carried by said shoulder-section, provided with a central opening adapted to form a head-opening in the dollbody.
